Answer 1

You may obtain a restricted operator's license between the ages of fifteen (15) and eighteen (18) years to operate only a motorcycle or motor-driven cycle, with not more than one hundered twenty-five (125) cc piston displacement; provided you have completed and passed a motorcycle operator training course approved by DPS. You must also have obtained your high school diploma or or be enrolled in a public or private school for at least 80 days in the fall or spring semester prior to the date of application.

Upon reaching the age of sixteen (16) and having completed the motorcycle course, the 125 cc restriction shall be removed without completing any further motorcycle courses.

Basically, since you are already 16 years old, you can go take a MSF rider course then go take the written test at the DPS office and show them your MSF course completion certificate and the motorcycle endorsement will be added to your driver's license. You will not have a restriction on the number of cc's you are allowed to operate. You can legally ride anything from a moped to a 2300 cc Triumph Rocket III.

Answer 2

At your age you have to take a safety class to get an m class license here in Texas. They will provide you with a motorcycle for the course either a 250 or a 125.
This will count for your driving part of the test. You will still have to take the written part.

Answer 3

Search the internet for a motorcycle safety course in your area. They usually provide the motorcycles for the course. The instructors are authorized to give the permit test and the riding test so that all you have to do is go to the DMV and get your license. You will also get a break on your motorcycle insurance rate, which at 16 should be very attractive to you.

Answer 4

I'm 17(live in GA), and got a motorcycle for my birthday last year...I would highly recommend that you go grab a Class M permit, if they do that in Texas, because it's just a written test. It lasts for 6 months, plenty of time to practice getting the feel for it, and you can just go take the actual riding test whenever you feel ready. In GA, they make you bring your own bike and show insurance and all, I'm not sure how it is there though. And you don't need to take classes, it's not a requirement.

Answer 5

If you have a class C you can get a motorcycle endorsement either by taking a motorcycle rider course (and when you pass you will NOT have to take the road course) you will get a certificate from the Course administrator take it to your local DPS office and answer 20 questions. If you take the course some of them furnish Motorcycles and helmets. GOOD LUCK

Answer 6

Try and find a Drivers Edge course I believe they have them in Texas too. I just got my Class-M license in AZ here and if you take the class here you dont have to do the DMV test.

Answer 7

Take a motorcycle safety course. They are not expensive, you have use of the motorcyle, and your test is given at the end of the course. Insurance will likely be cheaper also.

Answer 8

Of course you could get away with it, but as you may have noticed by everyone elses' responces, it's very risky. You are much better off taking a cab, or having a friend drive you. Anyways, kudos to you for taking the class. DUI sucks lol.

Answer 9

check with your Department of transportation. they have all the answers. i would suggest taking the course for your liscense. its informative.
